I'm also trying to develop a taste for retro games, but it often takes more patience than I'm capable of. I joined this site to meet like-minded gamers, so if you want to hear another Australian on Xbox Live or hear bullshit stories about kangaroo riding, add me.

First Post. Fuck all that 'oh ive been a lurker for a while decided to join blah blah fucking blah'.

I am prepared for the torrent of obscenities and general hatred that will be directed towards me for this - but I didn't think either Portal or Bioshock were as transcendently incredible as they were hyped to be. Now I don't know if this was because they didn't pander directly to my tastes, or because everyone didn't shut up about how amazing they were.

Has anyone here been affected by hype disappointing and leading to an ultimate distaste for the game in question?
